How'd Rumble KO Glover so easily?

[Necrocrawler]

Rumble had Crazy KO Power.
Also he connected a clean shot on Glover
For the last, even though the bout lasted less than 15 seconds, he changed Glover forever. He stopped using his weird striking game and became more reliant on his wrestling/bjj skills.
Basically, he realized he was getting old and had to adapt his gameplan.

Glover can take a beating. I know he rolls more to avoid damage, but Hill landed some huge shots and had him cut up. I don't buy that a man can take more damage as he ages. Was Rumble just that much of a beast?

I found it interesting that Johnson's KO of Teixeira got the most votes by a WIDE margin on this poll courtesy of @MXZT

Out of these Rumble Johnson KO's - Which two were the best?

[Cpt Migraine]

Rumble started out as a ww.. (kind of)..

His power translated all the way to hw.. that's saying something about how powerful he really was.. next level shit..

 

[Limit Smasher]

Rumble was the most powerful UFC fighter of all time.

 

[El Fernas]

Rumble actually had good hands with a lot of power, not just some fast hands with decent punching from being heavy, he was special.

 

[Zanmato]

Timing - Glover ducked down into a huge uppercut he never saw coming. Couldn't roll with it, tuck his chin, deflect off his shoulder etc, just took a nightmare punch right on the button

At the time of that

Do you think Hill hits as hard as Rampage or Lidell?

Rampage no

Liddell about the same
IMO

Prime rampage threw bombs. Rampage could have been GOAT material if he took training more serious

 

[Izzysexboyfriend]

Glover came in careless and wide open and got caught with a huge uppercut

 

[Izzysexboyfriend]

And Rumble just booped him lol. Wasn't even a haymaker

It was a perfect uppercut. Glover fought too careless

 

[Tweak896]

Rumble had so much speed and power when he moved to 205. He was on a scary streak where he just bodied everyone.

 

[Shilajit]

He got that

 

[TheGreatA]

Glover can be hurt, but you have to put him out. His recovering abilities are crazy, he never gives up on himself.

Rumble happened to possess the kind of power where you don't get a second chance, you're just out.

 

[Typrune Goatley]

Do you think Hill hits as hard as Rampage or Lidell?

No. Both of those guys hit extremely hard and put people to sleep.

Not saying Hill doesn't hit hard. He obviously has skills and power, but not quite like the greatest punchers in division history.

 

[OriginMMA]

Mannnn RIP Rumble I miss him more by the day.

 

[Hitdepruns]

Rumble was as scary as respected. Hope he is up there.

 

[Shay Brennan]

Rumble is just the hardest hitter ever at LHW

 

[Doctor Grudge]

Bellator took a hit with Rumble's passing. Would have loved to see him fight Nemkov.

Rumble could have been the UFC champion also by now. Craziness.

 

[GrantB13]

Power is unexplainable in a lot of ways. It’s a similar way to how Manhoef KOd Hunt when nobody else could for a long time. Some shots land perfectly or some fighters have the ability to knock out anybody while others can’t. On the other hand, Rumble couldn’t knock out Arlovski. It can be pretty unpredictable.

 

[ComfortablyNumb55]

Because Rumble would KO Hill out of the effing octagon.

Legendary power.

Do you think Hill hits as hard as Rampage or Lidell?

I don't think Liddell hit as hard as Rampage. But he definitely hit hard. I wouldn't be opposed to putting him in the same range as those two though.
